BOMBINATORIDAE

The Oriental Fire-bellied Toad, Bombina orientalis ( Boulenger 1890) , is indigenous to Japan, Korea, and fareastern Russia and China; it adapts to urban and suburban habitat ( Zhao & Adler 1993; Zhao 1999; Ishchenko & Mitchell 2008) and has been introduced to Spain, the Netherlands, and perhaps Germany ( Kraus 2009). On 27 September 2007 at night time, SVN collected an adult B. orientalis (photographic voucher UF 152327) in leaf litter at the base of a tree just outside the property of the animal importer's facility at 6450 Stirling Road, Hollywood, Broward County (26.04591 o N, - 80.21976 o W). At this same locality, on 22 August 2009, CRG and DC found two and collected one adult B. orientalis (UF 155692; MorphoBank M88443 ; Fig. 7 at night time alongside a Hypselotriton orientalis (see account above). In September 2009, CRG and DC collected, but did not voucher, two additional adult B. orientalis found just east of the facility’s property. On 30 January 2010 at 2130 h, GNK, Ari Triest, Jakob Pammer, and Keiley Huerff collected two additional adult B. orientalis (photographic voucher UF 157280) in this same area. Although B. orientalis has now been found multiple times for three years, there is no current evidence of reproduction (stage 3). This species likely was released or had escaped (stage 2) from an enclosure. These represent the first known vouchers for this family and species in Florida.
